Samsung's SCH-B570: the 8GB i310 music phone now with T-DMB
In the E3 fury that was last week, we managed to overlook that Samsung dropped a pretty major update into their 8GB i310 music phone – some of that sweet T-DMB mobile teevee sugar. That change bumps the model to an obscure SCH-B570. Other than some additional, unspecified multimedia capabilities, that's about all we know for sure. Though it's likely to carry the same specs as the i310: WinMo 5.0, microSD expansion, 2 megapixel shooter, Bluetooth with A2DP stereo audio support, TV-out, and integrated dual-speakers. Normally at this point, we'd tell you there's no chance in Hades we'll ever see this phone in these United States. However, with the FCC approving T-DMB phones of late, well... you just never know.

I fail to understand why you would have a memory card slot when you've got an EIGHT GIGABYTE HARD DRIVE built in.

Well, this would seem to be the Korean (CDMA) version of the SGH-i310 (GSM) which is another change
And since it is extremely rare (and dissapointing) that Korean phones make it out of Korea still in their original CDMA form is really does seem like there is no possability of this ever getting released here...
...Not to mention the fact that Verizon is already committed to FLO over T-DMB and Sprint is also reconsidering its position on FLO and may end up going that route aswell...
But I sure wich that high end Korean CDMA phones would get marketed to the well over 200 million CDMA customers worldwide before they get re-released as GSM for global launch...

contrary to what was originall said, i think that this phone is in fact already on its way to the US. I recently saw an ad (on a US Magazine) for the phone.
